Vocabulary 暨南大学精品课程项目 外国语学院大学英语教学部制作 Reading --The car market in China By Oliver August in Beijing • Edward Zong, China’s Porsche salesman, is ready for the biggest boom in the car business since Henry Ford. Only 1 percent of the 1.3 billion Chinese own a car, but sales are 50 percent more than a year ago. • As a result, the country is now the biggest market for some car manufacturers, and you can read about the end of the ‘bicycle age’ in Chinese newspapers. • In Beijing alone, about 4,000 new cars arrive every week and 600,000 new drivers will get licences this year. This is a rise of 40 percent. Sales of 3 million vehicles this year will make China the fourth largest market in the world. 暨南大学精品课程项目 外国语学院大学英语教学部制作 reading Some carmakers need Chinese consumers. Volkswagen will sell more cars in China than in Germany this year, and Porsche hopes to double its sales to 60 cars next year. • When Mr. Zong was young, children played ball games on Beijing’s big roads. People didn’t own private cars and only government drivers, such as Mr. Zong’s father, went faster than bicycles. • These days Mr. Zong waits in car traffic for an hour on his way to work every morning. The millions of bicycles cause great problems for other traffic. The government plans to destroy many old areas and change single-lane roads into eight-lane highways. • This year, Mr. Zong purchased his first car, for £12,000- a Jeep Cherokee. He wanted a Porsche, but with a price of more than £90,000, this is distant dream for him. • From The Times 暨南大学精品课程项目 外国语学院大学英语教学部制作 Porsche Dr. Ing. h.c. F.
